What is the best part of working at the company?
Relaxed atmosphere, good benefits

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very cut throat working conditions. You can get fired for the simplest of things or just because management doesn't like you. The drivers are constantly picked on. Office workers are expected to take on more and more responsibility without any extra pay increase. Performance reviews never happen. If you ask for a raise, even if you have a laundry list of accomplishments, you will be denied. If your a woman in this field expect some harassment. The company tells you it's your fault and to get over it. They don't deal with it. There is little to no training and you are expected to know how to do anything they ask you to do. Often I've found ways to streamline and make my job easier and less time consuming only to be told I'm not allowed to make improvements. The higher up the company you go the more corrupt they are. Drivers get their pay held when they take time off even though they don't owe the company money.  It is stressful on a daily basis wondering how you will be yelled at and threatened. I managed to stay 5 years. There isn't much that I missed about the job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful daily environment. Upper management is not helpful. Generally, employees are not appreciated for the work they do, and are seldom rewarded. The truck drivers have ways to earn a new company shirt or hat and are given a free meal served in the terminal once a year.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people, everyone knows their job and handles themselves in a professional manner for the most part. Management isn’t so bad either.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Parts not available or not delivered on time, trying to keep everything in the shop rolling. To keeping up with inventory making sure shop is tidy enough to work and maintaining the right tools for the job in an occupation that changes daily.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No problems, we have a pretty good staff at our terminal, we have our moments but for the most part everything seems to stay on an even keel.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
No day is the same, you’re either doing pm’s, inspections, welding something cleaning up the shop and or your tools. Ordering parts, answering phones, moving equipment around the list goes on.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Decent company but you must willing to be out all week to make a decent paycheck. And like all companies they say they care but getting loads covered at no fault of you they want you stay out no matter if it's the weekend or not. Over all no different than any other trucking company. Decent equipment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with dispatch . We have some good one and some not so good ones. Plus the lack of communication doesn't help. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Big company but our division is somewhat snaller. So a little better culture

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Run run get the load delivered

Severely MicroManagement 
Not Team Players 
The rest of the dispatchers will talk about you when your in the room & out. They will lie to management about your performance. Not managed correctly at all & NO Training or Organization whatsoever!  Looks like it’s a lot of family/next of kin here… if your not in with the crowd your not in regardless of what your capable of professionally. Drivers are not managed & override dispatcher & management daily. Not a good place, try to make you feel incompetent when it’s just very poorly ran & managed. Do not recommend to anyone. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great customers,ur not micro managed good routes for the most part

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Once you get to know everyone is pretty much easy going

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in anywhere from 4 to 6:30 in the morning get paperwork ready do your pre trip good up and go to your customer it’s usually to trips per day or a compartimento tanker with 3 stops not to bad

It's an ok company to gain experience in the tanker world. I learned a lot from other drivers however the pay is not suffice and recent actions within the company have made me decide to start looking for other work, I was told my runs were cancelled on a Friday and the following Monday and I ended up finding out the runs were not cancelled but taken away from me and given to someone else versus splitting the work up equally. Also had a day where the company was trying to convince me to work a 15hr day when I would not be driving a sleeper cab and wanted me to run through my hours illegally.

working at Dana transport was an exciting job, from the training to running my unit. the management and office personal where amazing. A typical day at Dana as a driver , get your dispatch for where you are delivering the product. Pre-trip your truck, deliver the product safely and on time. (everyone is aware things happen, and the support at your terminal will ensure proper communication to the receiver), travel back to your point of origin and post trip your unit and call it a day.  I would not have left Dana if it wasn't for the fact of me moving, and there not being a terminal close to my family. (with in 2 hours) 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Dana Transport was a great place to work. The Lawless family was wonderful. The entire office was driven on team work. The Drivers were truly dedicated to delivering the product on time.  It was the best job I ever had.

Gathering paper work  on a weekly basis from the Drivers

The work environment was a team work effort from everyone. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We all started early and worked to ensure every delivery was made.

Dana's owner has been great to work with. I knew I was in the right place when he stated " Take care of the customer & the people at Dana .............. The rest will work out". Unparalleled education !!

Enjoyable growing the dry bulk division with a great team of people and strong backing. 

Some corporate positions need assistance which would help all Dana employees & prevent frustration. Terminal Managers do not always have a clear direction to report to on the operation side making it necessary to put your best foot forward or be stagnant.

It's a true work environment, no horse playing around and co-workers get alone ok .

We normally know the day before what our next load will be and most times immediately after completing our scheduled load for  the day .
